Kidney Transplant Cost In India

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure performed to replace a failed or damaged kidney with a healthy kidney from a donor. It is recommended for patients with end‑stage kidney disease or chronic kidney failure when dialysis is no longer effective or suitable. A successful kidney transplant can significantly improve quality of life, energy levels, and long‑term survival.

India has emerged as a leading destination for kidney transplant surgery due to experienced transplant surgeons, advanced transplant centres, and affordable treatment costs. International patients choose India for high success rates, modern medical infrastructure, and comprehensive care throughout the transplant journey.

Average Kidney Transplant Costs in India

When is a Kidney Transplant Needed?

Kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is when kidneys lose 85–90% of their function.
Common causes include:

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Polycystic kidney disease
• Chronic glomerulonephritis
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• Autoimmune diseases like lupus

If dialysis isn’t enough — or if you want a better quality of life — a transplant may be the best choice.

How the Procedure Works

The surgery usually lasts 3–4 hours. The surgeon places the healthy kidney in your lower abdomen and connects it to your blood vessels and bladder.
Your own damaged kidneys usually remain in place unless they’re causing problems.

Recovery After Kidney Transplant

• Hospital Stay – About 1 week for monitoring.
• Medications – Lifelong anti-rejection medicines to protect the new kidney.
• Lifestyle Adjustments – Healthy eating, regular check-ups, and staying active.
  Most patients return to normal activities within 4–6 weeks.
